Like last year, I made a geeklist almost two months ago to keep track of the ranking of new Essen games. However, with mkgray's historical rankings tool (with graphs!) that is not as useful as it might have been last year. And furthermore, it occurred to me that it is actually more interesting to keep track of the relative rankings of the new Essen crop, especially since the absolute rankings are already tracked and graphed by the aforementioned tool. Hence, here is a new and improved version of the Essen 2008 ranking tracker, based on these considerations, and with some other minor improvements.

Explanation:For each ranked Essen 2008 game a link to mkgray's historical rankings is provided.Below that, the historical relative rankings are shown in reverse chronological order. Relative rankings are the rankings among the Essen 2008 games ranked on that date.
